Needs more ride...

I say this because in the beginning, it sound awkward when you have the snare drum banging, but it doesn't really fit in until ride comes in and accompanies it, then it sounds pretty nice. Yea, I think that the build-up to the addition to the ride come a bit takes a bit too much time, and gets left out for a significant amount of the song. And the "what you think we think is cool" gets a bit repetative, so I would say add something to it (unless you can't find anything to accompany it... then I should recommend you to listen to daft punk's song, and see how they use the words... that should help in a direction to go with the words).

Other then that, structurally, there is a structure, but I think you can improve on it a little to make the song more cohesive. And I gotta say once again, that you need more of the ride in this song because it definitely helps a lot. Hopefully this review has been helpful.

&quot;What you think that we think is cool&quot;?

Not quite sure what to make of this one. You certainly have the hang of synth bass and drum loops, as well as some interesting SFX thrown in the mix. Your dedication shows through length alone, and this is actually a pretty complex piece.

The lyric, however, leaves me confused. Not sure what it means or how it ties in with the title. Also a bit repetitive overall for my taste. I'm no expert in the House genre, so maybe that's common in similar entries. I'm more of a classical/video game guy.

I can tell you definitely put some serious effort into this piece. Nice work.

Massive indeed

I'm not sure what this reminds me of, but this track is massive, and I'm not talking about the playtime of it.

FIrst off, the intro gives a great picture of what's to come. The rhythms, the vocals, the quirky synth bleeps, sounds great and readies the listener for what's to come. The somewhat wobbly bass that comes in backs the whole deal up very nicely.

The rhythmics section in this song is absolutely awesome. It's varied, but not random, keeps the song pushing on, sounds great during transitions, samples are perfect for this track. The vocal sample you've used is a nice addition, I love what you did with it. Sure, it might get annoying to some, but I rather like it. Hammers the message into your head.

Feels like I heard some Benassi-influences in the track as well. Might just be general house, but that's what I thought of at least, with the deep bass.

Both the intro and outro are great. Outro might feel like it drags on a bit, but not enough to sbtract any points.

Think it's cool

Well I certainly do like the vocals you put into here. What was the source of the voice samples anyways? The beat sounds pretty cool for a house piece though and I like it as well. You did an excellent job on this one.

The drums sound cool and have a nice rhythm going with them so nice work on doing those here. The vocals are cool. The bass sounds wet yet good at the same time so that is very nice sounding to me. The synth kind of sounds like it hops but I think that goes well with this piece.

The tone of the song seems to be making you feel like dancing in a different matter of sorts.

Really enjoyed the low filter pass during the near two minute mark as it sounded pretty great anyways. I think you did well there making it slowly build back up and having a new drum track laid in there to make the song cooler than usual.
